York on Moss workout: ‘We need to add somebody that can stretch the field’

On his way into the office this morning, 49ers CEO Jed York ran into a group of beat writers on a stakeout for wide receiver Randy Moss.

What a great way to start his Monday, huh?

Near the end of his brief conversation, York said he had to duck out to watch film of coach Jim Harbaugh throwing to Moss during his workout (Moss had already arrived at the facility).

Of course, York was also interested in seeing what Moss could do. Will the 49ers sign the 35-year-old who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2010? York said it’s up to Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke to figure that out today.

“I think Jim and Trent want to see if he can play,” York said. “We need to add somebody that can stretch the field. It’s up to those guys to figure out if he’s a fit.”

That process is presumably happening as I type at 11:20 a.m. in the passenger seat of my car outside the team facility. The make-ready work is in full swing for the new stadium. The employee parking lot is dotted with construction trucks and mounds of dirt and gravel. As a result, York and the rest of the team employees must park across the street, which explains how York ran into us this morning.

“Obviously you have to duck traffic a little bit and you get stuck seeing reporters when you’re walking in to go to the office. It’s terrible,” York said, jokingly, of the construction. “But other than that the work has been fantastic. You see the garage going up across the street. They’re moving.”

* Pending free agent wide receiver Joshua Morgan wasn’t as chatty as York. He declined an interview request, but indicated his broken leg was fully healed as he walked away.

“I’m good,” Morgan said, joking he was able to dunk over the Sacramento Bee’s Matt Barrows.
